Roxy Rocket, whose real name is Roxanne Sutton, is a thrill-seeking supervillain in DC Comics, primarily an adversary of Batman. Created by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm, she first appeared in The Batman Adventures Annual #1 (1994), a tie-in comic to Batman: The Animated Series, before her animated debut in The New Batman Adventures episode "The Ultimate Thrill" (1998), with subsequent minor appearances in Superman: The Animated Series. A former Hollywood stunt double, Roxy was fired after her increasingly dangerous performances became uninsurable, leading her to turn her expertise toward crime, committing daring heists with a custom rocket to satisfy her adrenaline addiction while occasionally working for employers like the Penguin.
Roxy possesses no innate superpowers but demonstrates exceptional skill as a pilot and stunt performer, maneuvering her high-performance, rocket-propelled vehicle through extreme aerial feats that enable rapid escapes and precision thefts. Her equipment centers on the sleek, customized rocket capable of supersonic speeds, sharp turns, and evasive tactics, often augmented with tools for breaking into secure locations. Psychologically driven by an compulsive pursuit of danger rather than financial gain, she incorporates dramatic flair into her crimes, quoting film dialogue and treating confrontations as exhilarating performances.
Roxy entered the main DC Comics continuity in Detective Comics #822 (2006), written by Paul Dini, featuring intense pursuits with Batman that highlighted her seductive and risk-embracing personality. Further developments include recurring battles with Batgirl (Stephanie Brown) during the 2009–2011 Batgirl series, brief appearances in narratives such as Batman: White Knight, and occasional roles in tie-in media, solidifying her status as a niche yet memorable member of Batman's rogues gallery defined by her unique aviation-themed criminality and quest for the ultimate thrill.
